Get Tax Filing Help
Ashley Killam2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark for business and personal taxes! I have worked with multiple different CPAs, who technically did their job, but would never take the time to actually learn and understand my situation as a self-employed busisness owner in the music field. For the past two seasons, Mark has had so much patience, and has been willing to fully explain my questions and concerns, working so I understand tax brackets and my role within the field. Each year, he clearly walks me through the process, working to not only talk through the past tax year, but make a solid plan when it comes to the upcoming year's estimated payments, and I leave our phone calls with a solid understanding of my own situation and how to plan for the future! Senior Home Solutions Michigan2024-10-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark has provided our company with expertise every step of the way. From helping teach and navigate quickbooks, to providing expert bookkeeping services, Mark has been a great accounting resource for our small business. Stephanie La Vigne2024-09-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark is very easy to work with. He is knowledgeable, patient and responsive. He has been helping us navigate both QuickBooks Desktop Pro and Gusto for our small business needs. He is great teacher and has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend Mark for your personal and business needs. Mike Grimes2024-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Need a CFO, but not in a position to hire one full time? I started a business in 2021 during COVID. Not the best time to do this, but is there ever? I was in desperate need of someone that I could work with on all facets of our business. I needed a right arm, someone I could trust, yet someone that would tell me the truth, make recommendations, and see the business through the eyes of a CFO with a strong business acumen. Prior to this, Mark handled my personal taxes. I began talking with him about the business and quickly realized he was the person I needed. Mark was instrumental in setting up our accounting systems and processes which included payables, receivables, and inventory management, to name a few. Always focused on the P&L, yet fully aware of what it takes to meet our long-term objectives. To find someone that you can drop into your business, that sees the big picture and understands what is necessary to meet the ever-changing challenges of owning a business, Mark Persitz is MY choice. Hard working, Open, and Honest. "Marks" do not come along every day. I am lucky to have him! Bob Jones2024-09-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark has been great to work with. I have really enjoyed the fact that he has taken the time to explain the why behind the task. Mark would be my recommendation to anyone looking to make accounting make sense. Very strong knowledge of QuickBooks, both its functionality and its shortcomings. This proficiency allows Mark to find workarounds that solve the problems instead of creating more problems later. I've started with mark on a QuickBooks cleanup project but am rapidly evaluating moving all my CPA services to him as a result of my experience. Rush Lake POA2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark never fails to assist us with QuickBooks and accounting issues and is able to find solutions that work for us. He is very patient and easy to work with!
